Various forms of massage and healing:

Relaxation Massage, generous, gentle yet deep with profound effects. Combining a light flowing massage with enough depth for you to feel it doing you truly good, this massage creates the most relaxing and healing experience.

Holistic Massage, tailored just to your needs, this massage relaxes the body, reaches the mind and helps you to learn to let go from the inside out.
We understand that it's not the muscles idea to be tight. Our muscles get their information from the brain, through the nervous system. The deepest relaxation happens when we work not just with the muscles but with the holistic system of our body/mind.

The Trager Approach encourages increased freedom of movement, deep relaxation, lightness and well-being. In a hands-on session you re-discover your natural state of relaxation. Trager helps to dissolve habits and patterns that cause tensions, pain or restrictions.

Meditation is the art of being with what is, as it is, here now. Simply being. At peace.
There are many meditation techniques that have evolved over the centuries, and many new ones that may be more appropriate for the 21st century.
We can explore various ways of entering the peaceful state of meditation, and help you find which way resonates with youself.

Health Tips:

Eating as a meditation
How about making something we do every day into a meditation and reaping health benefits from it at the same time?

When you eat, let your senses open. Be simply present ... take a moment to enjoy the look of the food, the smell ... as you pick up the fork, feel the touch of fork on skin, maybe feel the sunshine or the air on your hands, your face ... slowly raise the food to your mouth, being aware of the anticipation ... and then experience the flavour, the temperature and texture of the food, bite by bite.
Take your time to taste all the different nuances the food has to offer.

Allow your eyes to be soft, your breath to be free.
What a gift, a moment of simply being here, not distracted by TV or radio, a book or computer.
Simply tasting, smelling, feeling.

Eating as a meditation allows you to relax while you eat, to feel more calm and peaceful, more centered.
In this state the nervous system supports the digestion and the absorbtion of nutrients to its optimum.

Embarassing!
I was born in Germany, and my english was very basic indeed when I first travelled to England at the age of 15. I was trying to find something in the supermarket, and I just couldn't find it. So I asked a shop assistent: "Where do I find dogs?" - "Dogs?" - "Yes, dogs!" -"We don't sell any dogs." - " You must sell dogs! Cold dogs!" - "COLD DOGS???" - "Yes! You know hot dogs? I want cold dogs." - "Ahh! Sausages!" - "Yes! Sausages!"
